With the expense of extra curricular activities these days and the hassle of scheduling a different carpooling plan each night, some families are forced to limit the teams or clubs that their child is able to join. Unfortunately, this often means that parents must make a choice between having a kid that participates in artistic events and having one that is a member of an athletic team.

Making time for exercise in the afternoon can be difficult if your young one is involved in band, choir, drama or art as some schools hold practices until 7 or even 8 at night. Children in these programs often return home after dark and are unable to go for a walk or jog outside alone. Unfortunately, with the U.S. obesity rate for teens rising each year, teaching a lifelong appreciation of exercise has never been more important.

Establishing a weekly exercise night is a good way to bring parents and children closer together and can help to keep kids fit throughout their lives. High-quality shoes like the Nike Air Max Torch 4 can help families jog in cushioned comfort. The Torch 4 combines a sleek style with enhanced padding and a non-slip sole for a safe running experience regardless of the conditions outside.
